The prevalence of HPS in liver cirrhosis patients varies from 4% to 47%.[1-3] About the definition of HPS, it is a pulmonary vascular disorder with evidence of intrapulmonary arterial venous shunt.[4] Pulmonary dyspnea and polycythemia are common presentations of HPS. Dyspnea, cyanosis and clubbed fingers were present in most of all cases. Spider nevi is another common clinical feature of patients with HPS.
